About Mohammad Shamsuddin Ahmed

Ph.D. in Electrochemistry with 15 years of experience energy sector and nanomaterials development and characterization, along with 6 years of hands-on experience in typical lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) including electrode materials synthesis, electrode fabrication, battery manufacturing, testing and failure analysis. Industry experience in process development including slurry mixing, thin film processing, cell building & testing. A deep understanding of battery materials, electrode preparation, cell design, cell assembly. I have advanced experience and problem-solving skills in materials characterization tools and engineering including \'cell design and Validation\',\'failure mechanism analysis\' and abuse tests with the ability to interpret analytical and cell test data to draw solid conclusions. Practicing strong communication, organizational, documentation and time management skills. Managed 10+ cross-functional technical projects in diverse environments. Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously and prioritize tasks independently (and with minimum supervision) and as part of multidisciplinary team.
